Who would know that this single anomalous event would disrupt the known course of time and space and set the lives of two legendary heroes on very different paths. Orphaned Kal-El, last survivor of Krypton, is raised by apes to become the mighty Lord of the Jungle. John Greystoke, heir to fortune and privilege, becomes an adventuring wastrel draped in luxury, but not fulfillment.
